I am unlikely to join. So, I ask from a distance: Have meta defined any public interest oversight What are they doing about hate speech, CSA and crime Do they have a penalty box or exclusions policy for politicians and political hacks and what appellate process exists Do they recognise the force of national laws in any specific jurisdictions beyond the USA How does meta intend dealing with Iran and china

I suspect they will reuse moderation fromFB and Insta on Threads so more of what they have been doing. They are a known quantity at this point.

For the uninitiated (I guess I live under a rock), what is threads? When I open the link I just get a funny logo and the "from meta" label

A twitter clone with a different, less impulsive weirdo CEO at the helm.

does the "less" refer to "impulsive" only, or both "impulsive weirdo"?

I’m one of these signups, but the purely algorithmic timeline is a dealbreaker for me. Obviously you need to optimise for the day one experience for as many people as possible so maybe a bunch of influencers and brands is what they want to see, but I’ve no interest in this iteration.
